Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr, the Qatari news network’s live streaming channel focused on Egypt but airing from Qatari capital Doha, aired its last news brief Monday evening.

The channel’s official twitter account announced the news right before the news brief’s airing. Nadi Abou El-Magd, an Egyptian journalist working for Al Jazeera, tweeted the news saying: “A new general Mubasher channel is scheduled to be launched soon, possibly from #Egypt”.
The move came only two days after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and the Qatari Emir’s special envoy Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdel Rahman Al-Thani formalised the Saudi-brokered reconciliation between the two countries.
